      libraries are far less likely to buy ebook copies than physical copies - which they can also acquire second hand thanks to donations, l m a o, and the author gets paid nothing that way - because the entire system for it is fucked thanks to greedy publishers.

      If the publishers weren't private companies but were author-owned co-ops would you still be taking this stance Because, like I said, this is the stance of all the author labor unions

      they are private companies that squeeze the libraries, the authors, the consumers, all of them - they squeeze the legal system itself, hell! to say nothing of the fact that the IA took down books if the author requested! dipshit could've sent an email!

      i can go play *thousands* of dos games on the internet archive itself, and they are *way* more popular than all this shit, and nobody involved with making them is shitting their pants - hell, lots of creators have seen it as intrinsic to their business and reselling!

      the guy who made 'where the water tastes like wine', a far more recent game - and even features Sting in it! - has a thread all about this, talking about the realities of piracy and where the problems are, and that this shit just isn't worth it!

      authors bitching about piracy are consistently aiming at the wrong fucking target. piracy is gonna happen no matter what. it's a whack a mole problem and doesn't help an author any to focus on it tons. the real problems facing them is **everybody is broke**.

      fucking goddamn no real wage increases in decades, people working 3 goddamn jobs including the authors themselves, cost of living skyrocketed into the fucking stratosphere, these same publishers getting *richer* the whole time. PIRATES aren't the problem here.

      The perceived value of labor in our society has been steadily driven towards zero, yes The Big Tech "information wants to be free" culture, it seems to me, is part of this It goes hand in hand with the gig economy mindset

      The mindset that there's a giant interchangeable pool of "content" out there and we should knock down all barriers to access to it to drive down prices is the exact same mindset as how tech sees the pool of "labor"
